Hon. Quincy A. Myers, recently a prominent candidate at the primaries for nomination for governor of Indiana, was made chairman of the last Republican convention of that state, and as such delivered the keynote speech for the campaign, giving a clear and forceful presentation of the issues involved. His address was received with the greatest enthusiasm.

Wilson L. Gill of Philadelphia, a lawyer, educator, engineer, and manufacturer of railroad cars, has been requested by David Snedden, head of the State Board of Education of Massachusetts, to introduce into the schools of that state his method of teaching-citizenship, known as the "School Republic," and the system has been introduced into the normal and other schools. Mr. Gill went from his native city of Columbus, Ohio, after leaving Dartmouth, to the Yale Law School. He has edited various educational periodicals, and is widely known as an educator. Some years ago he was supervisor at large of Indian schools under the Department of the Interior, and was formerly general supervisor of moral and civic training in the Cuban public schools. He was the projector and engineer of the tunnel under 42d St. and the East River, New York city. Although Mr. Gill's system of training is new to Boston, it has been in use in and about the city of Philadelphia for a long time.

Rev. Franklin E. Adams, Ph.D., has removed from Plainfield to Felchville, Vt., and become pastor of the Universalist church at the latter place.

Secretary, Henry W. Stevens, Concord, N. H.
